Not saying I'm interested in this or would want it (and I'm praying Bronson Arroyo is NOT in it), but didn't Topps have success with the mini set in 2012 at the National?
I loved 1992 because of the Diamond Kings, and because they had boxes of them at the local Price Club (like Costco) for fairly cheap. I know my brother and I split a box, and I had figured out that the four Diamond Kings were all on the same level of packs in the box and was able to get those...
Yeah, no doubt. And half what it went for in 2008 ... when I vastly underestimated what it would go for and my snipe didn't work.
I've overpaid on so much Bronson Arroyo stuff that it's nice to get a break now and again.
Btw, shipping was $6 on the logoman, which I guess pushes it over the $50 mark (to answer an above question about whether they go that low; I was shocked I got it for what I did. My snipe was roughly 4x that).
I got the Bronson Arroyo UD Ballpark Logoman for $45 this year. Missed out on it for $80 back when it came out. I also have the button card, for which I paid roughly the same ($40).
The weeks leading up to Ripken breaking the record were pretty cool with them counting down the numbers in the middle of the 5th inning every game. My uncle bought about a week's worth of games around the record breaker at the start of the season so I was there quite a bit.

Ripken's last game in Baltimore
Ripken's last game period (at Yankee Stadium; game never ended. Was suspended in like the 15th inning tied 1-1 bc of rain)
First game back in DC in 2005.
Strasburg's first game.
I'd be interested in rare Bronson Arroyo stuff, autographs and low #d parallels/inserts. For instance, a 98 Bowman Golden Anniversary refractor that has been hibernating for 15 years would be nice! :)
Ugh? Seems like a cool idea to me and a great tie-in with the game. Why hate on it? It's not like you are forced to buy it.

No batting gloves, but there is something wrapped around the handle of the bat where his top hand is -- a bunch of tape to make it thicker where his top hand holds the bat? Never seen that before...
Before I clicked on the auction, I figured the box would be in better shape. I know it's 3 years older than I am, but the stains on the outside were kinda surprising. Also, it says that it's intact with all factory seals, but if you look at the wire things holding the box top open, there are...
Jay's was my store when I was in college. It was great when it was on York Road in Towson and pretty good even after the move to Timonium, but you could tell they were moving more toward memorabilia. There's a great moments in Frederick near where I live now, which unfortunately is the only shop...
First one was Collector's World in Gaithersburg, Md. in 85-86. It was near a restaurant my mom liked to go to so I was lucky to find it as a 7 or 8 year old. It had a ton of cards and comics, and I can still vividly remember the smell of cardboard when I would convince my parents to take me...
According to another site that tracks these things, he seems to be pretty good. THe address that is commonly used is this one:
